Welcome to the Entertainment Age!

We are entering an age when entertainment touches every aspect of our lives. You can find entertainment not only at the theater, but also at hotels, restaurants and shopping malls, not only on television and radio, but also on web sites, cellular phones and PDAs. Cal State Fullerton has introduced new programs designed to prepare students and professionals for this new age of entertainment. To oversee these programs, CSUF has established the Center for Entertainment and Tourism Studies.

ET CENTER
Cal State Fullerton's Center for Entertainment and Tourism Studies (ET Center) is an interdisciplinary education, research and policy center devoted to exploring issues, opportunities and concerns related to Entertainment and Tourism in Orange County and the greater Southern California region. ET Center serves as a liaison between participating campus departments and offices and the professional community. A primary goal is to provide students, scholars and industry professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to study and work in these fields. To meet these needs, CSUF offers many Entertainment and Tourism programs and activities.

CSUF Entertainment and Tourism programs and activities include:

	Undergraduate and Graduate Degree Programs
	Professional Development Opportunities
	Internship and Job Placement Services
	Research and Consulting Services

Why CSUF?
The ET Center's name and location reflect Orange County's position as a center of growth for the entertainment and tourism industries. The recent Disney expansion coupled with the development of new resorts and exciting shoppertainment centers are drawing even larger numbers of tourists and business opportunities to Orange County. Many entertainment related enterprises including film and video production operations and new technology companies are also locating here and the traditional entertainment hub of Hollywood is close by. ET Center was developed to facilitate this growth through industry relevant educational, professional development and research programs.

Networked to the Industries
CSUF's programs are distinguished by their professional focus. These programs are guided by input from an advisory board of industry professionals. Close ties with local entertainment and tourism industries help insure our programs provide individuals with the knowledge, skills and contacts needed to succeed in these fields!
